AWS Encryption SDK Reference

The information on this page is a reference for building your own encryption
library that is compatible with the AWS Encryption SDK. If you are not building your
own
compatible encryption library, you likely do not need this information.

The AWS Encryption SDK uses the supported
algorithms to return a single data structure or message that
contains encrypted data and the corresponding encrypted data keys. The following topics
explain
the algorithms and the data structure. Use this information to build libraries that
can read and
write ciphertexts that are compatible with this SDK.
